rmdcoiso 's review for:
Snow Crash
by Neal Stephenson
Finished it in a little over a week, it's quite a ride.
Being already familiar with Neal Stephenson's "Diamond Age", it was not too surprising to be bombarded with vast new concepts in this setting of his. The first chapters brutally introduce you to a wide array of corporations, states, technologies, slang and so on, that you quickly have to absorb in order to follow the fast pace of the story.
The characters are fairly interesting, but it is really the interaction with the world that makes you want to keep reading.
By the end of the book, it felt like Neal just had to tie things up under pressure and made use of a couple of "cheats" or convenient coincidences, mainly related to Y.T., the girl that suddenly was special for everyone.
